When many ask me why I’m still single, it’s sometimes difficult to explain that it’s because I haven’t meet someone with a certain compatibility. There are some attributes in my book that one must have or not have for me to feel there’s a compatibility. It’s my personal belief that if a desired attribute is missing or and undesirable attribute is present, then there is no point in settling at all.

10 Ways to Avoid Marrying the Wrong Person, puts it in that sense of perspective.

As I read Dr. Nafisa Sekandari and Hosai Mojaddidi’s article on Muslim Village, I must say it’s very well put! It’s a few simple points and questions that so many people, including many of us Muslims, fail to consider.

This excerpt near the end of the article asks a powerful question:

Morality and spirituality are the qualities that truly define someone in addition to beauty, money, and health. The morally upright and spiritual person will stand by your side during adversity and hardship. If someone isn’t God-conscience and doesn’t take themselves into account with God then why should you expect them to fulfill their rights owed to you?

After you read this article, I hope that in some ways it makes sense and gets you thinking about putting things in perspective. To my non Muslim readers, I’m sure you’ll feel the same as I did that this article isn’t written just for Muslims.
